Considering we have 2,200 subscribers tor/Monero, I'll assume there are about 5,000 to 7,000 people worldwide interested in Monero as a store of value/transaction.  Of course it's all speculation anyway, but I just need a point of reference to calibrate the chart with. 
 
Bullshit will beget bullshit in this case.  The number can be updated later if needed.

 
  

One more: Inspired by an Episode VII poster I saw online.   

to me whats mind boggling is the amount of nodes running monero. That reddit post indicates there are ~70. Which is *good* considering the amount of change set to occur over the next year, but surprising considering the interest in the technology. Just goes to show the consequences of a huge memory footprint and compiling requirements. Which reminds me, I need to update that VM linux compile video.

Monero currently adjusting in effective dollar price terms to BTC's fall?

It's still way what it was recently if this is indeed an indicator.

Whatever the reason, green candles are good to see...

i woke up and thought shit, close to 50 cents again? damn i have to buy some!
some others had the same idea, what a suprise

looks ike it didnt need much to push price up nearly 20%, refreshing!
the day it spikes up and we all think "fuck this shit it will come down again anyway" will be the day it clears all resistance. dont know what day this will be, chances are high its not today, or is it? 

BTC will definitely reach $1000 usd at some point in the future. The Block Reward halving guarantees it.

 
 
The original public ledger is worth a trillion dollars at least, in the end game.  I can't imagine a situation where crypto reigns and the longest running ledger in our species doesn't carry some large value. 
 
That doesn't mean that it will be the *most* valuable, only that its value should be pretty secure over time. 
 
I would actually not be surprised if Monero eventually overtook Bitcoin, and possibly another currency even overtook Monero.

I agree with this one.
However, I have been pondering how Monero looks after 150 years? And guess what? Chances are it still survives thanks to tail emission which makes sure there is always someone(s) mining it and processing transactions.
People who critisize Monero always seem to critisize of its large Database which makes it challenging to download into PC if one doesn't trust in the privacy of a webwallet.

That being said, Monero might indeed being replaced by some coin but personally I do not think it will happen any time soon. The new coin should be somehow better than XMR. For me it is hard to imagine what features could that mysterious new coin own.

And I am not personally even surprised by the market reactions. I hope we have OTC markets taking larger buy orders for big bitcoin whales who are in the process of shifting their paradigm.
